Let's Have A Mass Debate! (sorry...)

Phil Carter is debating James Joyner regarding the utility or otherwise of reinstating the draft in one form or another - the debate appears to take a form similar to that employed by Slate and can be found here. Well worth a look.

When Phil first published his article I expressed a degree of initial scepticism here. Whether that criticism holds up (whether it held up then for that matter!) I don't know, but I'm still pretty sceptical. That said, I can spot a couple of chinks in Joyner's argument too. It really may be a case of least worst options.
